ADG can manage every step of the business sale process from the initial concept to the closing. This includes positioning the business for sale, drafting the selling memo, discretely contacting and vetting prospective purchasers, negotiating with the buyers, preparing for and managing the due diligence process, coordinating the efforts of your accountants and attorneys, and assisting with the closing. We specialize in working with information technology, environmental, and other technical companies.

Every engagement is unique, but most projects include these steps to get to a business sale:

• Meet with you and your management team to discuss your business, understand your concerns, and design a plan to achieve your goals.

• Perform a strategic review of your business and discuss our findings and observations.

• Recast your financial statements and understand the business’ metrics and key value drivers.

• Determine a reasonable asking price for your business.
• Develop and implement a strategic marketing plan for your business.
• Prepare a selling memorandum and Confidential Business Review (CBR).

• Compile a list of potential buyers for your business.

• Discretely contact and meet with potential purchasers.

• Negotiate the sale of your business.

• Prepare for the due diligence process and coordinate the work of your employees, attorneys, and CPAs.
